The name 'Sinte Pierse' refers to the original village of Sinte Pier, founded in the 16th century but later destroyed by floods and war. The present-day Nieuwvliet was established in the 17th century in a nearby polder.
The name and tradition of Sinte Pier live on in the village through the festival, the Sint Pieterstraat, and local nicknames like 'Sintepiere' for its residents.
